Rather new to forums, but simply put, would like the (Ultimate) fights in FFXIV to have orchestrion rolls for each phase theme in each Ultimate fight, specifically Moebius(Orchestral) from The Epic of Alexander (Ultimate). Below is just why it would mean a lot to me.
I had taken quite a long hiatus from this game during Stormblood and was more casual oriented, but I had lost track of my auto-play for YouTube music and stumbled across themes for Shadowbringers(specifically for E4S titan). Got interested in what they had done with the game after nearly a year of not playing, and with some light searching I found The Epic of Alexander (Ultimate). I don't want to spoil the final phase of that fight for those who have not done/seen it, but when I heard Moebius(Orchestral) it hit a chord in me that immediately piqued interest in the game again(also didn't know it was an Ultimate fight or even how hard Ultimate was, just heard the song).
This ended up sparking my return to the game, I came back nearly a month before 5.2 had released. I ended up getting a group of friends/FC peeps to help me clear E4S and was happy to even be able to enter TEA. Little did I know at that time would that be the fight in the game that forced me to get *really* good, but it was too close to 5.2 so I decided to improve myself a little bit and get the BiS for next tier.
I cleared the Eden's Verse (Savage) tier, and very much wanted to enter into TEA, so I looked for a static. Found one relatively quickly, and quite literally in the first week of prog with people I didn't even know that well, I said,"Man I can't wait to make it to Phase 4." Which was immediately met with,"Hold your horses lol." I didn't underestimate the difficulty, but I started to learn and prog this fight starting around June, and oh boy, was this a long grind.
The prog part of this journey wasn't anything super extraordinary. We did have to replace a tank mid-way through, but then we made it to Phase 4 and I got to see the transition(I was nervous out of my mind) where I took the screenshot that is currently my computer wallpaper(still looks amazing). Due to the need of paying attention to mechanics, I hadn't gotten to hear my favorite part of the piece until nearly Fate Cal Beta. I had already known it was my favorite OST in the game, but that moment with all the adrenaline just made it even more apparent. It took me all the way up until September to clear this beast of a fight, but I grew as a player a LOT. I thought maybe SE would add the themes over time but I don't think that's going to happen, so I thought I'd post in a forum.
In short it would be very meaningful to add the individual phase themes of all of the Ultimates as Orchestrion rolls to the game, but more specifically Moebius(Orchestral) because that theme strikes a chord in me that I love, but I can't be biased towards one Ultimate.

All of the music used in the Ultimates is just re-used from other content, and already has orchestrion rolls available.... ....Except the roll for Moebius (Orchestral), which exists in the files, but has not been made obtainable in-game yet for some reason. I agree it is high time they made it available.

UwU's music does have orchestrion rolls, you just have to get them by buying the soundtracks and then using the code that comes with them (I believe they still are available). Moebius (Orchestral) is flat out not possible to get a roll of as of right now.
